DMS 103 - Ca'Mareo Waller -1- The Administratrix Reloaded

PLEASE READ
First and foremost I am very aware of how corny this video may be. Back when I made it in 2004, The Matrix was still somewhat cool and the situation depicted within the trailer was still relevant.

This one is an oldie. I originally made this back in 2004 as the first half of an appropriation project for my Basic Video class. At the time, the Kerry vs. Bush presidential race was in full gear, and after taking a look at it, I realized how much the situation mimicked an "epic" action movie. It was by chance that I revisited the teaser for "The Matrix Reloaded," and realized the audio/dialog in the teaser matched up to the race perfectly. I'm not going to explain it here, but you'll get what I mean once you view it.

I guess overall you can say that this was a social/political commentary on just how ridiculous the 2004 presidential race was, as hinted at above. People were treating this pretty much as Bush wanting to stay in the Middle East for the oil, and that it is *his* God-given right to take it....it "is our destiny" as it were. I think the video ultimately explains the point I'm trying to deliver better than I can.

In 2006 I took this video (as well as "The Administratrix Revolutions") and remastered it in order to turn it in for my DMS entry portfolio. This is the remastered version.

What's new in remastered version:
-Slightly higher quality video replacements.
-New clips altogether.
-A more cohesive flow over all.
-Tighter editing.
-Replaced graphics/titles with new graphics/titles.
-Title card at the end.

Made with
-Various Internet Clips
-Appropriated audio from "TMReloaded" teaser
-Adobe Premiere Pro
